Military Families Admitted Free This Summer at 10 North Texas Museums

Ten North Texas museums are part of a nationwide effort called Blue Star Museums that will provide free admission to military families this summer. The 10 museums join more than 600 in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.

Since the Amon Carter Museum’s permanent collection and special exhibitions are always free, we are offering active military families a free collection catalogue as part of the Blue Star Museum program from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Just show your military ID at the Carter’s Information Desk for your copy. Please contact the Education Department at 817.989.5030 with any questions.

Would be nice to include retired military and their families too, but so often their service is forgotten. “only Active Duty”, never mind the 22 years you put in…those in for 2 years and id get in free.
